EDMUND  SPENSER,  "England's  Arch-Poet," 
died  on  the  16th  of  January,  1599.  This 
exhibition  of  his  published  works  is  intended  to 
commemorate  the  three-hundredth  anniversary  of 
that  event.  The  extreme  rarity  of  many  of  these 
volumes,  not  only  in  America,  but  also  in  England, 
must  be  the  excuse  for  the  few  omissions  in  this 
otherwise  very  remarkable  collection.  The  com- 
mittee feel  it  is  a  subject  for  congratulation  that 
the  entire  collection  is  made  from  the  libraries  of 
the  members  of  the  Club. 

The  earliest  work  of  Spenser  occurs  in  "A 
Theatre  wherein  be  represented  as  well  the  mis- 
eries and  calamities  that  follow  the  voluptuous 
Worldlings,"  etc.  (London,  1569,  by  J.  Vander 
Noodt),  and  consists  of  six  Epigrams  translated 
from  Petrarch  and  fifteen  Sonnets  from  the  "  Visions  " 
of  Bellay.  Spenser  was  only  seventeen  years  old 
when  these  translations  were  published.  They  were 
reprinted  in  the  "  Complaints  "  of  1 59 1 .  The  origi- 
nal 1 569  volume,  which  is  very  rare,  will  be  found  in 
this  exhibition.    The  first  edition  of  the  "  Shepheards 


273584 


Calendar,"  1579,  is  a  very  rare  volume,  and  no  copy- 
so  far  as  known  is  owned  in  America.  This  is  also 
true  of  the  "Daphnaida"  of  1591.  With  these  ex- 
ceptions, a  full  collection  has  been  brought  together 
for  the  present  exhibition.  The  descriptions,  colla- 
tions, and  notes  are  mostly  reprinted  from  the  volume 
of  Collations  and  Notes  published  by  the  Grolier 
Club  in  1893.  It  is  a  singular  fact  that  no  por- 
trait of  Spenser  worthy  to  be  called  a  portrait  was 
engraved  before  the  time  of  George  Vertue.  This 
engraver  issued  a  folio  portrait  in  his  series  of  liter- 
ary men  which  bears  date  of  1727.  He  also  en- 
graved at  least  two  of  smaller  size  —  all  evidently 
from  the  same  original  painting.  The  portraits 
shown  are  therefore  almost  all  of  late  date,  but 
have  been  included  in  the  hope  that  they  will  add 
some  interest  to  the  exhibition.

6  WORKS    OF    EDMUND    SPENSER. 

The  French  original  of  this  work  was  published  in 
London  the  previous  year.  Translations  of  six  epi- 
grams from  Petrarch  and  fifteen  sonnets  from  the  "Vis- 
ions "  of  Bellay  (occupying  B  I  verso  to  D  6  recto)  are 
by  Edmund  Spenser  (who  was  only  17  years  old  when 
they  were  published),  and  are  his  earliest  published 
verse.  They  were  afterwards  reprinted,  with  some 
changes,  in  his  "Complaints,"  1591.

Quarto.     Black  letter.     First  edition. 
Collation:  A — Ij,  in  fours. 

The  "two  Vniuersitie  men"  were  Spenser  and  Ga- 
briel Harvey,  and  the  letters  seem  to  have  originated 
from  Harvey's  failure  to  obtain  the  oratorship  of  Cam- 
bridge University;  they  were  probably  circulated  in 
manuscript,  and  at  last  surreptitiously  printed.  Har- 
vey, in  his  "Fovre  Letters,  and  certaine  Sonnets,"  1592, 
refers  to  this  as  follows :  "  It  was  the  sinister  hap  of 
these  unfortunate  letters  to  fall  into  the  hands  of  mali- 
cious enemies  or  indiscreet  friends,  who  ventured  to 
imprint  in  earnest  what  was  scribbled  in  jest."

each  other,  the  matter  being  the  same  and  the  pages 
ending  alike.  The  illustrations  are  printed  from  the 
same  blocks ;  the  type,  however,  was  reset,  there  being 
some  slight  differences  in  spelling,  etc.,  and  the  print- 
er's ornaments  at  foot  of  the  eclogues  are  different.

Quarto.     Second  edition. 

Collation  :  A  —  Z  and  Aa  —  Oo,  in  eights. 

This  is  the  second  edition  of  the  first  portion  of  the 
"Faerie  Queene."  It  was  printed  to  accompany  the 
second  portion  first  published  in  the  same  year.  Al- 
though a  paginary  reprint,  it  differs  from  the  first  in 
that  all  the  matter  in  that  edition  commencing  with 
signature  Pp  is  omitted,  with  the  exception  of  the  three 
commendatory  verses  ending  on  Oo  8,  one  of  which  is 
anonymous  and  the  others  signed  W.  R.  and  Hobynoll. 
The  last  five  stanzas  are  also  rewritten  and  reduced  to 
three,  and  the  spaces  on  page  332  are  filled  with  Welsh 
words.

This  is  the  first  edition  of  the  second  part,  uniform 
with  that  of  the  first  part  published  in  1590,  and  also 
with  the  second  edition  of  that  part  published  in  1596, 
with  which  this  is  generally  found.

The  third  edition  of  the  first  three  books  of  the 
"  Faerie  Queene  "  and  the  second  edition  of  the  fourth, 
fifth,  and  sixth  books.  It  is  the  first  folio  edition,  and 
frequently  occurs  with  other  works  of  the  author  bound 
at  the  end.  This  undoubtedly  arose  from  the  circum- 
stance of  there  being  copies  left  in  the  hands  of  the  pub- 
lisher in  161 1-12  (when  the  collected  edition  hereinafter 
described  was  printed),  and  the  additional  works  were 
added  to  them  with  the  exception  of  "  Prosopopoia,  or 
Mother  Hubberds  Tale,"  which  was  not  published  in 
this  form  until  1613,  and  consequently  too  late  to  be 
included. 

The  "Two  Cantos  of  Mvtabilitie  "  first  appeared  in 
this  edition.

This  is  properly  the  first  collected  edition  of  Spenser's 
works,  although  many  copies  of  the  1609  edition  of  the 
"Faerie  Queen"  have  a  portion  of  the  minor  works 
bound  at  the  end,  as  noted  in  the  description  of  that 
edition.  It  varies  from  the  1609  edition  in  numerous 
instances  in  text,  spelling,  and  ornaments,  showing  that 
it  was  entirely  reprinted.  Some  copies  have  the  title 
to  the  second  part  dated  1613,  and  there  are  also  varia- 
tions in  the  date  at  the  end  of  this  book  on  the  verso 
of  signature  Hh  5.  It  is  generally  believed  that  Spen- 
ser's friend  Gabriel  Harvey  was  the  editor  of  this  vol- 
ume.

^Portraits. 


The  portraits  are  all  bust  pictures  and  are  divided 
into  four  groups,  indicated  in  heavy  type.  In  each 
group  most  of  the  pictures  have  evidently  a  common 
origin.     Inscription  below,  unless  otherwise  stated.
